FATAL ERROR: Out of memory - shutting down

Registered forum members do not see this ad.

I am using Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007 on an IBM PC with a 2.39ghz P4 that has 1GB RAM and 256MB of Video memory. I have set my sweap file to 3x the amount of RAM. The error occurs when I am trying to add a layout from another file. Any suggestions?

AutoCAD crashes when ACTUAL physical memory gets down to within 100Mb. I have seen that virtual memory has no effect on it. We use 2GB of RAM and when I run some large drawing conversion programs, if it uses approx 1.85 - 1.9 gb of RAM, it will crash. We also run Unigraphics and it will run at almost 3gb of vitual memory usage. Go figure.
